The Information Content of the Term Structure: Application to French Government Bonds -
by Eric Jondeau and Roland Ricart
This paper evaluates the information content of the term structure for future growth in interest and inflation rates in France. A data set of zero-coupon yield curves on government bonds has been constructed for the 1 980- 1 995 period. The term structure's information content is generally very weak for this period. However, the 1985-1995 term structure proves to have a predictive quality for certain maturities. For example, the two-year rate term structures contain information on future changes in short-term rates, whereas the three-year rate term structures are weakly informative as to future changes in both short-term and long-term rates. The term structures (two years versus one year) to (five years versus one year) and (four years versus two years) are the most informative as to future changes in the inflation rate.
